Instead of trying to make better movies, Indian film industry is competing to manipulate box office numbers more than the other one.

Legitimising fake collections was never easier than in 2023.

Not one SPECIFIC actor or producer is doing it. It has become almost endemic.

KL Rahul mesmerises with one splendid innings in a tough situation and then goes off the rails in the next 6-7 Tests.

Hope this time the script won't be repeated.

He turned a corner in ODIs. No reason why he can't do the same in Tests!

Quality player. K L Rahul

80% ACTION FILMS flopped in the 80s.

80% LOVE STORIES flopped in the 90s.

Genre alone has never spelt success or failure. NEVER.

Audiences aren't fools.

Those harping about GENRE, please get one thing straight.

An OUTSTANDING mainstream film ALWAYS finds the audience.

GENRES can affect opening, not life-time. Yes, film has to OUTSTANDING. Not just average.

DUNKI was AVERAGE fare, not BRILLIANT. Hence, failed.

1980s was decade of ACTION films, but many LOVE STORIES became blockbusters -

1) Love Story
2) Ek Duje Ke Liye
3) Betaab
4) Hero
5) QSQT
6) Maine Pyar Kiya
7) Pyar Jhukta Nahin

1990s was decade of LOVE STORIES, but many action films proved SUPERHITS -

1) Ghayal
2) Hum
3)…

He's Prem. He's Radhe. He's Chulbul Pandey. He's Tiger. He's Bajrangi Bhaijaan.

Man who sparks off euphoria by just standing in a frame.

With all his flaws, Salman evokes unconditional affection. Because he's real & has no pretensions.

One of the biggest box office stars…

DUNKI is Rajkumar Hirani's TUBELIGHT. But with lesser footfalls. Will struggle to cross even 1 crore footfalls.

DUNKI has dropped 60% today compared to DAY 1. It is heading for Rs 9-10 crore net today.

It'll stand at Rs 130 crore net after 6 days. Collections of extended FIRST WEEK will be Rs 145- 146 crore net.

Second weekend will determine if it can cross Rs 200 crore net life-time.…

INDIA alliance leaders should stop commenting on Hindi religion & Gods. Neither desirable, nor profitable.

Talk about issues of public interest, which are many.

Paramount for INDIA alliance to work out a common, coherent narrative. Then stick with it.

Gill usually negotiates bounce with skill but is fragile when the ball is jagging around.

Has to tighten his technique against swing & seam. Many loopholes right now.

Since January 1, 2021, Steve Smith's Test average is 49. Which is very good but isn't extraordinary.

His overall Test average in the last three years has fallen from 62 to 58.

Finally, he's batting like a human, not a freak.

DUNKI is facing a DROP of more than 50% in today's morning shows compared to DAY 1.

The evening shows in metros will certainly improve but early signs aren't good.

Anything less than Rs 13-14 crore net today will spell big trouble.

DUNKI is registering a drop of 25-27% today as compared to Sunday. That means collections will be Rs 120 crore net (approx) after 5 days.

The film has underperformed till now. It's doing good business in Delhi/NCR, Bangalore & Kolkata.

Mass centres have rejected it.

DUNKI has collected Rs 67-69 crore net in the first THREE days. The TREND so far is strictly AVERAGE.

Today, there is a good jump because of Sunday. Christmas Eve will ensure no drop in night shows.

It has to earn AT LEAST Rs 30 crore net today to sustain.

'Saari Duniya Jala Denge' from ANIMAL is one of the best songs of 2023. It has a long-lasting quality. Will be listened to even after 10-15 years.

Hard to sing it but listening to it on loop.
